We're Going to the Zoo




Evan went to his first Zoo! The Milwaukee County Zoo was the perfect place to spend an afternoon with two grandmothers and get some close-ups of real live animals.

The first animal Evan saw was a Flamingo. What silly pink birds! We also toured Monkey Island, a Bird Aviary, the underwater animals, and many more. Mommy saw the funny ostriches, and grandma liked the giraffes. Daddy steered us far away from the snake building. In the Lion's Den, the male lion was pacing back and forth and got right in Evan's face! What a noise he (the lion) made. We also visited the hippopotamus, Evan's favorite animal. He was curious as to why the hippo isn't blue, like the one in the bathtub...

At the end of the day there was one thing left to do: ride the carousel! At first Evan couldn't figure out why the animals were hard and cold like plastic, but once the music started, he didn't want the ride to ever stop. What fun!
